And How
And How is the winner of a 2006 Xeric Grant and employs somewhat surrealistic, extradiagetic, framebreaking moments alongside a sparse narrative presumably about the lives of a small rural family. The graphic novel presents this family in a collage of scenes involving Bigfoot photography, bees, planes, and book burning among others. It is a fun and and cryptically intelligent graphic tale about what it means to be alive in the world.

Author Gregory Corso, received a 2006 Xeric Grant, to work on this graphic novel.
Jeff has gone home to visit his parents, taking along his wife. His parents are tobacco growers, but his father has been ill and his mother is unable to find a job in teaching after taking time off to care for her husband. During the year he was ill Jeff's father has seen and photographed what he believes is 'Bigfoot' or some similar creature. His obsession had turned him into a local celebrity and he hopes that actually capturing the creature will bring him even more notoriety.
Meanwhile, Jeff's mother has found herself involved in a group protesting the availability of a book (untitled and unidentified) in the local Library. Attending a gathering she find herself beginning to question her involvement. As this is taking place, father and son are attempting to find the elusive creature by using the plane the family uses for crop dusting.
An odd book, where the reader is left questioning the motivation of the characters and what may be reality and what an illusion on the part of the father. Certainly something different.
